Yes, I know.

My participation in MLPs recognizes that I've made much more through capital appreciation than distributions. I don't usually hold an MLP position after gaining what I expected via appreciation. Distributions merely feed me while I wait for success to come home.

Avita, on the other hand, is a somewhat speculative play and it's important to me that I recognize its proper place in the portfolio. Not long ago I'd held 16,500 shares (post reverse split) of Avita and have since cut that in half, more or less. Being as I'm not counting on immediate changes in RCEL valuation I'm building positions elsewhere that will put my cash to work.

Again, distributions are nice but I don't need them. They are icing on the cake and the cake is appreciation.

Thank you for your input, by the way. Very thoughtful of you.

I set some added RCEL shares to sell at $27... My broker will not borrow them to anyone that way..

OT to soflodiver:
MLP's do not report your distributions (return of capital) to the IRS as a cost basis lowering event... Therefore, IMO, you are incorrect saying those distributions will be taxed when you sell.

Furthermore if you hold and your heirs inherit, even the appreciation gain is not taxed as they get a stepped up cost basis...

25% of my position was inherited on the stock you discussed, and my cost basis was booked the day I got it.
